Do professors hate writing multiple LoRs?

Click For Summary
Applying to competitive colleges often requires multiple Letters of Recommendation (LoRs), with some students submitting ten to fifteen applications. It is common practice for recommenders to reuse existing letters, especially if they have a good rapport with the student. In today's digital age, recommenders can easily upload the same letter multiple times, alleviating the pressure on students to secure new letters for each application. This approach can simplify the process and reduce anxiety about requesting multiple recommendations.

Here's a secret: those of us who have written Letters of Recommendations before, we simply just print out more if you need more. Or in these modern times, we just upload as many times as needed.

Zz.
 
Yeah whenever I've needed LORs from one teacher, I just told him to use the old ones again lol! But we're pretty close so it's cool, I don't how well that would work in a more formal relationship.
 
Haha thanks for the reassurances, I would have had a panic attack plotting on how to ask them for multiples!
 
TL;DR: Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics? Hi, I want to learn ultrafast optics and I am interested in condensed matter physics, ie using ultrafast optics in condensed matter systems. However, before I get onto ultrafast optics I need to improve my electrodynamics knowledge. Should I study Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics? My level at the moment is Griffiths. Given my interest in ultrafast optics in condensed matter, I am not sure which book is better suited for me. If...
